Museo Tamux
The Museo Tamux is an excellent interactive natural history museum covering everything from asteroids to cloning to dinosaurs, including some cool replica fossils. The big orange ball is a planetarium, and there’s a botanical garden down below. No buses come here, or even pass nearby. The ticket office closes at 5pm.

Don Elias
A mix of tasty food, good service and lovely decor (fancy in the front and a fun log-cabin look in back) makes this place popular. The menu is heavy on steak and seafood, but you can eat lighter with the enchiladas rojas (enchiladas in red sauce) or salads. A guitar trio plays from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
